Chapter 470: The FAW Comes
There will be a shift in the evening, 13,000 today, can you count the votes?
And even the successor to this Haval H6, he has already thought about it, that is, the fourth generation of Honda's CRV launched in 2012.
Which car still continues the tepid appearance design of this CRV, and the words of the Celestial Empire to describe his appearance are just two words, mean!
However, the fine workmanship, as well as the ingenious powertrain of the Japanese, made this car still a big hit after it was launched, and it was still a hot fire, which still allowed Honda's brand to maintain the title of the king in this field, and continue to suppress Toyota's RAV4 and occupy the top position in the sales list.
It just so happens that Jin Xiaoqiang has been unhappy with the Japanese for a long time, and Toyota and Honda have been making frequent moves recently, and even took RAV4 and CRV, which were originally introduced into the Celestial Empire in advance, to compete with Huayang Power for the market, which made Jin Xiaoqiang feel very annoyed.
Simply go straight to Honda's fourth-generation CRV to be included in the successor 'design' object, if the time is happy with the Great Wall, then you can take out this car to the Great Wall in a year or two later.
Anyway, the CRV that Honda is currently using is only the second generation of the product developed this year, and in a year or two, they will definitely not give their current car a model.
And even if it is a change, they will use the third generation of the product that they replaced two years later, as for the fourth generation that Jin Xiaoqiang directly wants to copy, it is estimated that it has not yet been formed in the minds of Honda designers.
The Great Wall was satisfied with the new car designed by Jin Xiaoqiang, not only did Manager Zhao, who came to the negotiation, get it, but even after he passed the design plan back to their headquarters, it was quickly approved at the higher levels of the headquarters.
Everyone is simply satisfied with this design plan, because this car can not only make the Great Wall change the image of the previous off-road and pickup trucks that can only make hard bangbangs in the hearts of consumers, but also the most direct thing is that this car can make the Great Wall's car-making technology improve by a whole grade.
At present, they actually have plans to build a new factory, and during this time, their business manager has been selecting suitable construction sites for the second branch factory across the country.
Many cities in the south, north and west were among their scope of inspection, but in the end, considering the location of the headquarters, they finally chose the location of their new branch in North China.
Originally, they wanted to settle in the capital, but at present, there is already BAIC in the capital, and companies like Hyundai, their Great Wall is honestly compared with these two, the brand is really not big enough, and the government of the capital will not necessarily treat them.
The preferential conditions offered did not necessarily satisfy them, so they set their sights directly on Tianjin, one of the most important port cities in the north.
The geographical conditions here are relatively superior, which is more suitable for transportation and the procurement of raw materials, which also makes the Great Wall feel very tempted, and the leaders of the Tianjin municipal government, when they learned that the Great Wall plans to build a new factory and is inspecting the local area in Tianjin, immediately took this news seriously.
And a special team has been sent to contact the Great Wall, and the preferential conditions offered have also made the Great Wall feel very satisfied.
The two sides quickly negotiated the details and signed the contract, and the Great Wall side is ready to break ground on the factory in the spring of next year.
This is a medium-sized automobile factory with an annual capacity of 300,000 vehicles, so in terms of equipment procurement, Great Wall has also spent a lot of effort, in terms of large-scale equipment, such as plate bending machines, hydraulic presses, they have decided to use German products, and in terms of installation line robots, they plan to use Swiss or Japanese products. …,
But they have been hesitant about the machines used for finishing, especially in engine building.
If it were according to the original idea, they would definitely not hesitate to place orders directly with the Japanese, but in the past two years, the development of the domestic Nanyang Machine Tool Factory, as well as the Dalian Machine Tool Factory, has been good.
In particular, there is a Huayang Seiko that has only emerged in the past year, and they can also easily produce some low-level machine tools, and the quality is still very good.
And it is the Nanyang Machine Tool Manufacturing Plant, which has developed well in the past two years, as well as the Dalian Machine Tool Manufacturing Factory, and it is precisely because of the purchase of machine tools from Huayang Seiko, as well as the bed of the machine tool, that their new machine tool has suddenly gone up a grade.
If it is for cost considerations, then in some less important positions, it is also a good choice to purchase such a few machine tools.
And Huayang Seiko is a subsidiary of Huayang Power, now the accuracy of the cars manufactured by Huayang Power, everyone knows, people's cars can be said to be not as bad as the Germans and Americans, even if it is compared with the Japanese, it is almost the same.
This shows that people's finishing ability, the equipment they use, can it still be bad?
Coupled with the cooperation intention they reached with Huayang Power before, after hesitating for a period of time, the Great Wall directly placed an order of 100 million yuan for Huayang Seiko, requiring the purchase of about 20 to 50 machine tools.
Of course, these processing equipment, except for a small part of the core part of the engine finishing, most of the others are used for less important machine tools.
After all, Huayang Seiko has been in this industry for too short a time, and the Great Wall still can't be trusted.
When their new factory was built, there were already designers from Huayang Power involved, because in the Great Wall view, this factory will be mainly prepared for the Haval H6 in the future......
The people of Great Wall are gone, and their cooperation plan is also in full swing, but because of the problem of the site, the R&D facilities, and the ability of the designers.
The follow-up development and design work of this Haval H6 are mainly completed in the design institute of Huayang Power, after all, the Great Wall does not yet have such a strong R&D capability as Huayang Power.
However, they still sent a lot of technicians to follow up the research and development process throughout the process, on the one hand, it is to learn, on the other hand, it is to supervise, and more importantly, they want to have a good experience and learn from the design institute of Huayang Power, and learn all the rules and regulations of others and a full set of design processes.
Jin Xiaoqiang is also very generous, and he didn't say much, except for some key parts, his design institute can be completely open to the learners of the Great Wall.
This also made these personnel of the Great Wall always have a good impression of this Jin......
Just when the cooperation between the two sides has been in full swing, someone from FAW who came to Changchun also came to the door, and this time Jin Xiaoqiang was found by Tao Leran, the leader of FAW who had drunk with Jin Xiaoqiang in Beijing and finalized the cooperation between the two sides.
To be honest, after the last time he had contact with Jin Xiaoqiang in Beijing, he Tao Leran was hot for a while, and he had been appointed as the manager of FAW in charge of its own brand department.
He has just taken the position, and he is planning to show his strength in this new position, do a good job, and get a better future for himself.
But who would have thought that after returning to FAW, after reporting to his boss about the matter negotiated with Jin Xiaoqiang of Huayang Power, he was severely criticized by his superiors. …,
There are several leaders who blow their beards, stare at him, and slap the table, as for the plan to cooperate with Huayang Power, of course, it was swept into the trash by those leaders.
The meaning of the leaders is also very clear, what are they Huayang Power?
We are the eldest son of the automobile industry of the Republic, we are No.1, we can only cooperate with foreigners if we want to cooperate, why should we cooperate with such a company that has just relied on a few new cars and emerged in China?
Besides, even if it is cooperation, it has to be him who comes to beg us, can we go up and beg him?
If this matter spreads, then we will lose face, and we must not let those other brother companies laugh to death?
If you have this cooperation plan, let's put it here now, Xiao Tao, since you attach so much importance to your asset project, then let's go and discuss with the Germans again, discuss, and see if they are willing to transfer some technology to us.
If they don't want to, then let's go to the Japanese, if you don't become an American, I don't believe it, without them Huayang Power, we won't be able to make a new red flag?
State-owned enterprises are like this, the leader is the sky, no matter what he said is right or not, as long as you still want to mix in this acre and three points of land, then you have to listen to what he says.
So Tao Leran and Jin Xiaoqiang discussed the joint research and development, and the plan for a new generation of red flags was put on hold.
Although Tao Leran was depressed in his heart, he was just a politician most of the time, and since the leader didn't let him, he could only act according to orders.
Until some time ago, because Huayang Power has been in the limelight at the world's major auto shows several times, and seeing that Huayang Power has achieved such impressive results one after another, at a meeting of the leadership of various ministries and commissions held in the capital, there was an important national leader who will FAW and the First Army, and asked them, why a state-owned enterprise, with a strong historical heritage and talent reserves, as well as capital reserves, can not even build a luxury car of its own brand?
So the reason for this cooperation was found by him Tao Leran, and the leaders above no longer stopped him, and he was able to come to Nanyang today to meet with Jin Xiaoqiang to talk about cooperation.
